Anybody here playing with a 1215 configuration?

[Sav'nBass]

I'm curious.. does anyone here play with a 12/15 cab setup? I know the general consensus on mixing cabs .. but I am just curious. How about a 212/12 setup?

I play a fEARful 12/6 on top of a 15/6.

...but they are designed to be used together. I wouldn't do it with any standard-brand cabs.

Behold! 2 Marshall VBA 400s: each atop a 4x12 and 2x15 cab! With this rig, you don't need explosives to demolish buildings!

What - no 10's?

I am at times- DNA 112 on top of Bagend 115- SOunds great to me! In fact last gig at a big place, was told I had to cut some bass as I was THROWING tons of low end.

I've thought about getting a Mesa 1x15 to go with my 1x12. I bet it would fill the room like a beast and if the 15 were on its side they would line up in terms of dimensions. I haven't done it because I prefer a 4x10 for punch at the bigger venues. The times I've mixed cabs (particularly when from the same manufacturer/product line), results were great. I mainly play metal and can get by without hifi frequency perfection.

My outdoor rig is a 3-way 12" atop a 3-way 15.

In the past I would put my Schroeder 1212 on top of a Carvin 1x15, but only for outdoor gigs where I needed a lot of stage volume. It worked fine and was loud as hell (when driven with a 1500 watt amp!) Both the drummer and I could hear it thanks to the Schroeder being near ear level, its one-straight, one-angled configuration as well as its mid-bump voicing. The 15" added some low thump.

That was in the past, though. Now I use a single 15/6 fEARful for all gigs regardless of the venue size, indoors or outdoors, and whether or not there is good PA reinforcement.

For the last couple of years I have been playing through an Epifani UL 112 on top of a single 3015 in a custom cab. Subjective I know, but I love it. Provides a VERY wide frequency response from my Alembic pre and QSC or Peavey power amp. I used to split them in a bi-amp application, but decided I liked it better full range to both. It's louder that way :-)

Up to last year I was regularly using a Mesa Walkabout 12 on top of a Mesa Scout 15 extension cab. One of my favorite combinations, and it got the most out of the very sweet sounding Walkabout amp.

I have also used a Mesa Venture combo (basically a MPulse600 head driving a PH2x12) on top of another Mesa PH 1x12 for a 1x12+2x12 rig. It was a very big sounding rig, but pretty much overkill for the vast majority of my gigs.

The common wisdom about mixing speaker dimensions is fine and dandy, and I do not argue with engineers about dispersion characteristics and mixed cabinet resistance issues, but it is also a very good idea to listen with your ears and not your eyes. Sometimes something that is not supposed to work technically, can deliver great results. Lucky accidents.

Midget and Compact. Usually one or the other, but sometimes both. Like many others in the thread these were designed to work together.

2 15"s + 2 12"s.

Separate amp for the 12"s.

I use very light and responsive stock guitar celestions for the 12"s, the 15"s are JBLs that provide the beef.
